e48647acc1 - updates related to the save/restore changes 2007-09-29 09:01:02 +00:00
Stanislav Shwartsman
071c5c1a26 A lot of changes but everything is really trivial. 
Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead

  section-by-section credits and list them as an author.

4f4e6a2fa8 - add configure option --enable-docbook. If it is turned on, then during 
make install it will build the docbook documentation and install it
  into $(prefix)/share/doc/bochs.  If it is not specified, then it will
  be enabled only if the program "docbook2html" is found in your path.
- this completes [ 652957 ] install docbook docs instead of HTML

1812808d82 - get rid of bochs-docs which didn't work anyway 
- move DOC-linux.html into the docbook in a section called "Quick Start for
  Linux Users", and removed all references to the DOC-linux file that I could
  find.  Most of the text has been moved into the Linux RPM section.  Parts
  that did not fit into the docbook are now in doc/docbook/misc.txt.
- put vga.pcf into INSTALL_LIST_X11 so that it's only installed when
  you configure with --with-x11.
- transfer section on VGA font installation from docs-html into user guide
- remove RCS id from screen shots within user guide, since they are changed
  to the revision info of user.dbk.

94d9071c1e - update section on VC++ builds. 
- it used to list the options that were enabled in .conf.win32-vcpp, but I
  removed it.  It was out of date, and it's unlikely to stay in sync
  with the file even if I fix it now.
